<p>In this episode, I invited Jigar Mehta - founder of Honey Twigs, a company that is reshaping how we think and consume honey.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Honey has a lot of nutrients. Rich in anti-oxidants. Better for blood sugar. Helps in healing. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Honey is a segment which has not been disrupted for a VERY long time. The first thought that I get when I think about honey, is that it is a medicine. We're not really motivated to consume it daily.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>With Honey Twigs - Jigar is on a mission to change that perception. They make aesthetic looking 'twigs' which are mess free, naturally sourced and make consuming honey a lot of fun!</p>
